In older South Philadelphia rowhouses the dryer usually vents out a basement window or the rear wall, often through a run with tight bends. Lint packed into that duct causes most slow-drying complaints, so we check the vent along with the dryer.
Basement laundry down a narrow stair is the norm here, and long-held homes often still have their original shutoff valves.

What you can safely check
Clean the lint screen before every load and wash it with soapy water occasionally, since fabric-softener film can block airflow even when the screen looks clear. Pull the dryer out carefully and check that the duct is not kinked or crushed. Disconnect the duct and run the dryer briefly; if it suddenly dries well, the vent is your problem.
On an electric dryer, check that both halves of the breaker are on. Do not bypass a thermal fuse to get the dryer running, and do not open a gas dryer's burner assembly. A fuse that blew did so for a reason, usually poor venting, and that reason needs to be found.
